Targets of Terror

Those who joined the CLC are opportunists - two headed snakes. They don't have any principle and just want money. They are willing to sell their mothers to continue living.They are only loyal to themselves. For many Iraqis they are traitors who served the US. They are the ones who will side with the insurgents if the situation is reversed. They are not to be trusted by anyone. In any encounter,the CLC should be killed first before killing the actual enemy.

I want to make it clear, I am not talking about Muslims in general. Heck I believe it should be Muslims leading the charge against these cowards, since it is Islam that is getting the black eye because of their actions.

I am talking about the extremist and those who support them. I am talking about hunting down and killing the cowardly murderers that hide behind women and children while waving the Quran as justification for their killing of innonence. The cowards that lie and deceive Muslim youth into sucide and enternal damnation with the promise of 72 virgins. These are the people we should destroy, and it should be Muslim nations leading the way, but since they don't seem to be able to do the job, it's up to the US to do it for them!

Don't waste much of your time trying to understand our enemies actions or justify their cause, because there is no logic involved! Just a group of blood thirsty cowards deceiving Muslim youths into dying for their cause, while they hide behind women's skirts!

William.Demuth....you say you "understand our enemies actions"......do you have any understanding for our troops that see these murderous actions first hand? Can you understand how our troops feel after seeing these murderous acts? Can you understand why they volunteer to go back time after time to try and kill these cowardly murderers that hide behind women and children?

And since you "understand" their actions, help me to understand how any human could possibly bake 10 year old children in an oven and serve them to their parents with fruit stuffed in their mouth? Help me to understand how they can take a sword and behead another individual because they disagree with their religious beliefs?

Is the troop surge working? The answer is yes if you look at the level of violence that is going down. But, why is the troop surge working? That is THE question to answer. It may be working because we now have enough U.S. trrops on the ground. But, our enemies know that too. To the point, is the troop surge working primarily because our enemies are laying low until we leave?

Doesn't seem like new news. is this the first Iraqi beheading in the middle east during our military operation?? Is Al-Qaeda finally tired of the U.S. ? From what I gather, this dude must be new. As it turns out, they are even shooting at our soldiers! The nerve!! They must think we are only interested in oil.

really newsweek, al qaeda beheading and intimidating Iraqi's who don't support their cause is nothing new to this conflict. dont try to act like this is 'breaking news' just because it is happening more to the CLCs. these so called 'new terror tactics' have been happening since the beginning of the war. dumbest article ever.

Now we know the real truth about the so called troop surge and their 'success' in Iraq. There is much more to it than meets the eye, and the ear. As this article clearly explains, its about economics in a large parte. US commanders now pay militias to turn against their former insurgent comrades. Part of it is also because these people are simply exhausted from the fighting and want to regain some level of normalcy in their lives. Now retaliation is in order in the form of beheadings, etc. When will the next wave of violence erupt? It is like a red ants' nest. At some point someone is going to step on it and get ants (violence) scattering everywhere. This 'calm' is a false sense of security that will require more and more billions of American money to keep it going. Let's not fool ourselves.

As tragic as it might sound or be...we have the same problem on our streets daily. Bloods, Crips and other gangs execute anybody that is against their cause or moves into their territory...whhooooo.
Before we say Iraq is getting worse let's look into our own boaders.....their gang is just called Al Qaeda, but all gangs use intimidation and violence to gain respect or to broadcast their beliefs.
Gangs are a way of life anywhere. So is anyone stopping the Bloods or Crips or Los Lobos or KKK? NOT!

Ok, so the enemy is fighting back. So what? The point is is that the media will always say "Watch out!" However, in this day and age we can implicitly know what the truth about 911 is. Do we need evidence? No. There is such a thing as Photo Shop. Oh, and has this guy never herd of the phrase "Don't believe everything you hear on the internet."???? This guy probably has several Nigeria schemes cooked up trying to make it rich. We now know that the troops DIDN'T HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEEDED. So what was the point of going into a war under gunned and undermanned? Just take a look at the numbers of your local gas station. We DID get fooled again. Hopefully someone in this country is paying attention. I think we ought to have a constitutional amendment to make sure we have incontrovertible proof before something like this gets sucker punched on us again. Pisses me off.

What makes some people think that the whole world is against the U.S? The world could be in a disagreement over U.S policies, but it is not against America. I think people get the impression that everyone hates america because the media selectively reports only the minor instances where hateful gestures or actions are made against the U.S. What happened to all the gestures of goodwill made by America through its yearly donations worth billions of dollars to many poor countries? Did they all go to waste? However, it is not fair to blame it all on the media. After all, it consists of organizations run by people, and people, unfortunately, are prone to bias towards or against something. Whatever message anyone tries to spread as the genuine truth, it is most likely to be a lie or only a portion of the truth. This applies to some of the bizarre and extreme comments found here. For example, Chongyeeyap says that beheadings of innocent civilians and suicide bombings in Iraq are just a form of guerrilla tactics, therefore they are justifiable. Since these victims of terrorist acts did not believe in the supposed messages of truth preached by Al Qaeda they deserve to die? Should these innocent people all die because they began to be fed up with living in fear and under the tyranny of a few vengeful lunatics and decided to fight against al qaeda, or any terrorist? If that is the case, whoever posted the comment bashing everyone in America as blind and ignorant should die right this moment because he is against my views. Whoever said that terrorism and selective targeting of civilians as means to win a war is justified and has a clear conscience afterwards is just an idiot. I'm really fed up with people who try to shove what they claim is right down everyone's throat. At the end of the day, it is up to the individual to decide and choose his or her own path. It's really discouraging to read some of these ridiculously one sided comments. God help those people because I know that I can't.

if you have noticed in the news they seem to be getting brave again, approaching our navy vessels with threats, daring us to make a move, i have to give our navy kudos for standing firm and not firing first it can't be easy. but the last time it seemed we were recieving threats like this they were planning something so it makes me wonder what they have in the works not to mention the fact that as our troops push they hide and then push back so you know the moment we pull out the *** is going to hit the fan, it's too late the damage is done and they are planning something it's like holding down an angry badger, your fine as long as your hand is pressing down on it's head but you know the moment you let go it will bite you....thanks Bush for starting a war no one can finish

Does this reporter work for Al Qaeda? They describe the terrorists in fearsome terms and then portray the CSC's as other than patriots or heroes. Exactly the way Osama likes his news.
These terrorists are cowards and their names should never see print without being described as such; The coward Osama, the cowardly Al Qaeda group. They kill innocents, they encourage their children to commit suicide against other innocents to further their hateful cause.
Anyone who opposed them should be hailed as a hero.

A magazine like Newsweek and reporters like this are some of Al Quada's best tools. They write the story in a manner to scare those who oppose Al Quada and then describe the people who standup against the terrorists as "not all driven by patriotism or even antipathy toward Al Qaeda. A better spin for the terrorists couldn't be written by Osama himself. How can you describe these people, the CSCs, as anything other than heroes. These people stand up to Al Quada at there own peril. They know their lives are at stake. And 300 dollars is not sufficient compensation!
